Academy staff will also be present at this introduction.

Lunch will be served each day (at times listed in the schedule) in studio 809 on the 8th floor near the roof terrace.
All week lunch will be vegan/vegetarian and provided by Carmen from Starlounge, the cafeteria located in the academy. When you have any dietary requests, please come to the Intro Week team on the first day of the Intro Week.

In the afternoon we will briefly walk you through the Intro Week schedule to give you an idea of the days and content. Also you will sign up for the workshops that are taking place this week. The latest version of the schedule can be found on this website and in the hall at the Intro Week desk.
Furthermore, we get to know each other better in smaller groups, divided into different rooms, with a creative assignment. These works of art will be hung in the Academy's main hall at the end of the afternoon and may be taken home at the end of the week.

To finish off the day we all come together in the Theaterzaal to exchange and have a drink together.
